Welcome everyone, Stag Camp is open to all! If you haven't already done so, go to Tribe.net and post your info and an introduction, especially the people coming from Alabama with the RV, so that when we do the landgrab we'll be sure to have plenty of room. Which reminds me I need to finish the signs...
Joe, I think it's cool that we're going to have a couple of token Burner kids in our camp, we're going to be really well rounded as far as people go, a nice mix of males and females, and plenty of awesome foreigners from all over the globe! Goddamnit I can't wait!

The fact of the matter is that Stag Camp has grown so large we must now close our borders or risk becoming unmanageable. Everyone above this post we should be able to accomodate, but for any newcomers, I'm afraid you're going to have to seek life elsewhere. Not that we don't love ya, we just plain ain't got the room for ya! Sucks to be you!

I will help you set up your dome too, if you will help me set up mine? Pretty please? I set it up with my brother yesterday and it will definitley take at least two people to get it--three will be better. Of course, I will help anyone else who needs it as well.

Pterribilini-
Thanks for the offer to help set up the dome. Seems like there will be no shortage of help so whoever winds up helping is cool. I too am a hardworking man, and can't sit still, which is a big reason why I have chosen to be a steel fabricator. I will be willing to help anyone with anything as needed.

So, in response to the recent decision to put a cap on members and space for stag camp. I have decided to open my dome to other staggers that would like to set up a small tent inside the dome for a shady spot to sleep.
it's only 17-ft diameter so it won't accommodate too many people. But I will open it up to a couple more people. Besides, what better way to get to know other staggers?

In case anyone didn't know. Melencholy Harlot is one hell of an awesome woman. As well is everyone else that is working so hard to get things organized for Stag 2.0. Guys, if there is anything I can do to help you all out, let me know.

I'm going to post my contact info on Tribe.net for ya'll to have a way to get in touch with me if you need or desire.

Hey niners i will help you set up your dome.... i don't take much space just me in a small 2 man tent.... currently trying to figure out my Money situation which right now looking like i might have to cancel the Canada portion of my trip due to a last min money emergency back home....

Honestly, I appreciate your intentions, but David, TJ, Jim, Red and I have been on the phone/emailing for a day and a half to figure out how we want to put things politely about closing the borders to Stag. It is frustrating for us to sign on and to see that you have already taken it upon yourself to communicate the message, in your own way, to the greater community. Decisions aren't made in stag without a counsel of elders, if you will, and it'd be greatly appreciate if you do not make pronouncements for the group without talking to all of us. Please do not post a retraction or apology on the thread, just let it be. David and I have drafted a final note that I am going to post.

I really do appreciate your enthusiasm but PLEASE in the future do not act as a spokesperson without speaking to David, myself, Shell, TJ or several other older members. Thanks.

See you on the playa!

Best,

Nikki

Why do I feel like I just got my ass spanked, and not in the good way?

Sorry if I "stole your thunder" so to speak, but I had just posted that Stag Camp was "open to all" which unless I'm mistaken it has been up until now, when Mzfit messaged me to go to Tribe and read your critical mass post, which I then did. It was too late to edit the previous open invitation so I took it upon myself to share the information I'd just learned, no more new people in camp. Look, I get it, you all were there at Stag Camp 1 last year and I wasn't, you started it, but as I've been constantly reminded, Stag Camp is NOT a theme camp. The fact that every single person is supposed to be responsible for themselves is what drew me to Stag Camp in the first place. So how the hell can a small minority of people, your tribal council of sorts, claim leadership over a much larger group of people? (Newbies like myself!) Guide us and teach us yes, but don't try to boss us around. I wasn't aware that I was acting as a spokesman, that was never my intention, YOU ALL came to the decision to close Stag Camp on your own, I would have capped it off at like fifty people... But forget that, when I decided to join up with Stag Camp, the "rules" were:
1. Be self reliant
2. No Moop
3. No violence
That's it. There was no "Obey The Tribal Council!"
I don't need this drama, you feel like I wasn't polite enough, and you're entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't give you the right to scold me like a naughty five year old and try to tell me what I can and can't post. That's why I'm going to post your message to me and this reply in the Stag thread. In closing, I've decided that Stag Camp just isn't the place for me this year, but I wish you all the best and look forward to meeting some of you on the Playa.

Sad news, indeed Lone. I for one was looking forward to meeting you and all your Hunter S. Thompson -ness. Hope you find a suitably exciting camp. I understand your feeling claustrophobic now that this new "directive," has come down from on high, but reconsider, if at all possible. If you do choose to camp elsewhere, please stop by Stag and say hola to those of us that have been amused for the last 6 mos. of your ranting, rambling, image-posting madness.

Wow, sucks. I enjoyed your blog too. For what it's worth I didn't personally take it like you were speaking for the whole camp at all, just the sarcastic post I'd expect from you. And for what it's worth, I don't think that message was meant to be as harsh as it came out. I've always seen discussion on whatever subject on this thread, I don't see why this was off limit since I didn't see any mention on tribe's discussion of the "official" message being composed. I definitely see your frustration but I think it was just an unfortunate misunderstanding and the situation could of been handled a lot different. It sucks to hear "run everything you post by the elders" but I have to be the optimist I am and say the spirit of that message was as lost as lost gets. By the way, I couldn't find the link to your blog again, you took it off your profile?

Iniers, I will help set up. I would like to be around other staggers. I have been following stag camp for quite a while, and was very suprised when they capped it. :shock: Had I known that could happen I would have been more active on the forum.
Let me know!

to be honest...i don't think so....but it's not really up to me and i don't know what you were told before and who told you so.... best bet is to P.M. nikki(melancholy harlot) she posted up about on this topic. she would know the best answer. i don't mean to throw it on someone else but....like i said i'm not sure. also...i am pretty sure most folks arn't checking this topic anymore. most of our action is on tribe so it would really help things if you were on there. sorry i couldn't be more help.

well i have to give them some credit.... they are rebuilding the intire immage server for Everybody on tribe.... all the pictures and everything so.... yeah.... gotta give them some slack.... it sucks that they are down... but it will happen.... and come back up.
